Here at the Guardian, we believe the open exchange of information, ideas and opinions has the power to change the world for the better. Our independent journalism holds power to account across the globe and brings information that's suppressed into the public domain.

We are at a fascinating juncture in our history. Our audience has never been larger; our journalism never more successful; our brand never stronger.

Yet the economics of the news business are incredibly volatile with large digital platforms eroding the ad market for quality publishing.

As we re-orientate to focus on reader revenues in this period of unprecedented change, the industry partnerships we build will underpin a key part of our growth strategy.

That is where you come in.

We are recruiting a Commercial Development Manager to drive commercial initiatives in multimedia (video, audio, IP and VR) and new content formats that drive innovation and revenue growth for the Guardian.

You’ll deliver strong revenue growth in video and audio, managing projects and external partners to develop new content formats and innovation, and develop a robust framework for ongoing evaluation and improvement.

You’ll oversee and manage the operational elements for new deals and projects, working to enable the ongoing successful execution and relationship management by relevant teams across the Guardian.

To be considered for this exciting opportunity, you’ll have a proven track record in delivering partnerships or commercial deals that generate revenue growth, and you’ll be motivated by achieving ambitious goals and targets.

Building and maintaining relationships, both internally and externally, comes second-nature to you.

You’re a digi-phile, with broad knowledge of storytelling formats, both existing and just over the horizon, and you’ll have a firm grasp of the industry’s innovations and key players - from the global, household names, to promising start-ups.

In particular, it would be ideal if you have an excellent understanding of video, ideally from multiple angles - editorial, product and commercial, and thrive in an entrepreneurial, start-up-type environment.

And, of course, you’ll have a genuine desire to contribute to the Guardian’s future success, and share in our goals and values.

Does this all sound like you? Then we’d love to hear from you!

To apply, please upload your latest CV and a cover letter which outlines why you’d like to take on this role, and why you’re a great match for what we’re looking for.
